KidCo, known for its extensive line of safety products for over 25 years, is ready with tips for the family room.
The Family Room
These days, the family room is doing double duty as a home office, school study space, and playroom. Be sure to put electronics out of reach to reduce the risk of kids getting hurt or damaging expensive equipment. When setting up electronics, ensure that all wires are no longer than six inches. Consider wrapping them with electrical tape or Velcro ties.
GET COVERED
Use an outlet cover box to avoid exposed outlets should something come unplugged. Be sure to keep charging plugs out of reach. Universal outlet covers work on both standard and decorator style outlets and does not require that you remove it every time you actually want to use the plug.
PASSWORD PROTECTED
You never know when little fingers will touch your keyboard or mouse. Very young children have become extremely adept at finding YouTube and watching their favorite videos. Putting a password on your computer is the easiest way to ensure your child does not “edit” any documents or visit any unsafe sites. You may want to put your tablet in child safe mode if you haven’t done that already!
STAY SECURE
Secure TVs or Furniture to the Wall with anti-tip furniture straps. Fall hazards are one of the most common, and most deadly, dangers for children inside the home. Bookcases can be extremely dangerous if not secured to a wall. Furniture should be anchored to avoid tipping.
